Article 1701 (proposed modification)                  
Team entries into the state championship cross country meet shall be based on a formula that is comprised of two factors:    
1) An established baseline providing a minimum number of entries for each section;            
2) Additional entries based upon the most recent four (4) year history of the section team performance in each divisional race.     
No section shall have more than seven (7) team entries in any division race

Notes:                        
1) The total number of 23 in each race was arrived at in discussion with state meet management,        
who had felt for the last few years that 24 or 25 teams on the line was too much for efficient race management.      
2) The only exception to this is the San Francisco section.  In the event that a non-Division I          
team wins the Section title, that team would advance to the state meet in its respective division.

New Cross Country Entry standards to the State Meet

At the May 3-4 CIF Federated Council meeting the new cross country state
meet entry standards were adopted. These standards were developed by a
subcommittee of the Cross County and Track Advisory Committee. This
committee was directed to come up with a proposal that addressed the
following concerns:
1) Simplify the at-large process
2) represent sections proportionate to size and strength of programs
3) be adjustable year-to-year 
4) inculde as many top teams as possible in the state championships

The subcommittee: 
Scott Fairley (West Valley HS, Northern Section)
Bob King (Del Campo HS, Sac-Joaquin Section)
Peter Brewer (Castro Valley HS, North Coast Section)
Bob McGuire (proxy for Doug Speck)
Roger Blake (CIF staff)

The subcommitte adopted the state wrestling championship model for the new
proposal. This bases the at-large entries on the past four-year history of a
particular section at the state championships. The subcommittee took this
idea with the following variations:
1) each section is guaranteed a "baseline" number of entries which the
number of entries have always been allotted -- that is, no section will ever
receive fewer entries than they have been given under the previous standards
2) there is a cap of 7 entries per section per division
3) there will be a total of 23 entries per division 
4) each section's additional entries over the "baseline" are determined by a
four-year history of that section's performance in the top 10 at the state
meet

All these calculations are available from each section office, as well as
the state office. 

Using these considerations, the subcommitte came up with the following
number of entries for each section for each division for each gender. These
go into effect this fall, for the 2002 state meet.

If we use the same methodology as we did for 2001 and if my 
computations are correct, here are the 2002 at-large standards 
for Crystal Springs as compared to 2001.

The first figure shown is the state at-large standard for Woodward 
Park based upon a 3-year average of the 10th or median places in 
each division at the state meet.  The second figure, is the average 
difference between the Woodward and Crystal Springs courses by 
division for the CCS teams who have qualified for the state meet 
during the last three years. The last figure is the Crystal Springs 
at-large time that must be beat at the section meet in order to be 
considered for an at-large berth at the state meet.

As can be seen, all of the Woodward Park at-large standards get 
easier for 2002  (except division 2 girls) because of the poor 
weather at the 2001 state meet.  The 2001 state meet times replace 
the 1998 state meet times in the revised 2002 computation.  Although 
the Woodward standards get easier for 2002, the CCS standards did 
not necessarily get easier for the CCS teams for 2002 due to some 
poorer performances by CCS teams at the 2001 state meet as compared 
to their 2001 CCS meet performances in comparison to the 1998 
differential computations.
